Jekyll in Chains

The Headwaters Theatre
55 NE Farragut #9 Portland

An original adaptation of the classic Jekyll & Hyde story, Jekyll in Chains is a gritty musical drama set in the '90s, filled with that era's signature grunge and alternative rock riffs. The play follows brilliant neurosurgeon Dr. Henry Jekyll as he attempts to create a computer chip that can shut off the self-destructive and violent impulses in the brain. He nearly succeeds, until a glitch in the system leads him down a tortured path of murder, violence and drug abuse. As the drama unfolds, a live band performs music by Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead and more. Part horror, part sci-fi, part gothic melodrama, Jekyll in Chains makes its world premiere at Portland's Headwaters Theater. This production contains strong language and adult situations and is recommended for audience members ages 18 and up.
